After environmental destruction, widespread disease, and all out war I give it 500 years. Quite possibly less. Maybe Marx's idea will win by default. And get your idea of Soviet style communism out of your mind before you respond. I am referring to pure Marxist ideology where the state fades away. Small functional communes. Not the totalitarian mess that existed in the Soviet Union. That was not communism. That was a totalitarianism state. And the models that followed suit were also totalitarian states. I am talking Das Kapital here pure and simple. Talk ideology with me. Not rhetoric. I am an old political science graduate (international relations/ political philosophy) from the University of Wisconsin. If you are not politically educated please do not answer. I don't want sound bites from Rush Limbaugh. And I don't want to hear about how successful you became from a real estate scam ("you can do it too!!!" haha). I want a true discussion on political philosophy.
